Condolences

I will remember Clarissa for her dedication to the GFWC Women's Club of Tawas, serving as President, and also at the state level fundraising efforts. She was such fun! Rest in peace, dear Clarissa. You've worked hard all your life and now you can rest. See you in the sweet by and by!

We send our prayers to Clarissa's family and many friends. She always had a smile on her face and a good word to share with
others. To us she was Bill's big sister as the years passed she remained in Whittemore and we saw her often on visits to
our home town. We keep her family in our prayers.

Made lunches for all of us while we played in the yard. Perogies were the best. She took me to school when it was too cold for the bus stop. Watched fierworks and a doe with two fawns play beneath the apple trees. We went Disney world. Got a big hug when I was at the hospital in cheboygan and they thought a young dave was gravely ill. I love her like my own mom. God-bless you clerisy.
